User talk:ROSCC

Please do not delete this! It has taken me ages to work out how to do it. I realise now that i have not been fitting with wikipedia's guide lines but i will amend the article.
 * Problem is it should be worked on in a subpage. Does not belong on your user page WP:UP|as per guidelines]]. Please move it or it will be deleted as stated. -- Alexf(talk) 19:24, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Please will you explain how to do this and what a 'subpage' is? I am not technically minded at all hence why i have been doing this page so wrong! Thank you

We are obviously a childrens charity and i didnt realise this was an issue with Wikipedia as other charities such as Make a Wish and Starlight, which are very similar to ours, are on Wikipedia. Please can you tell me how i get round this? We are obviously trying to infrom people about the charity so that they can put forward serioulsy and terminally ill children they know for wishes, we are not making money about this. Many thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by ROSCC (talk • contribs) 16:42, 15 December 2009


 * The result of the discussion was Keep. However, I should point out that Wikipedia's purpose is not to be a directory of charities, or a way to promote them - even if (as individuals) we agree with the aims of the charity.
 * What you need to do is to find reliable, independent sources of information about the charity (press coverage in national/international publications are the best - as long as they are articles about the charity, rather than press releases). Coverage on national news is also a good source to use. Regards, --  Phantom Steve / talk &#124; contribs \ 18:51, 15 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Incidently, your user name still appears to be against Wikipedia's user name policy - please see my message further up the page for the reasons, and how to change your user name. --  Phantom Steve / talk &#124; contribs \ 18:51, 15 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Many thanks for this. I will concentrate on our page in the new year.
